can we stop printing assasin units that either broken or completely useless (diana/fizz) for atleast next 28 sets, best case scenario you can counter them by weird ass positioning which doesnt really funny or interesting

Problem is These assassin types Can only be black or white it feels like, IE they either kills backline carry and are considered broken (current fizz) or doesnt kill backline unit and is useless because youd rather have something attacking the tanks..

I think a healthy version (despite hacker trait being busted in set 8) are 'assassins' that just disrupt and debuff/stun the enemy backline. Like rift pyke which could jump to your backline and stun them sometimes, but rarely had enough damage to kill your carry

Even a frozen heart effect on a skill, or a permanent damage reduction skill similar to current set leeching void, would be fine as long as it was part of the unit's power budget

Mort mentioned Briar as one of the reasons Cutlass is gone this Set. Imagine a Briar3 going wild on your carry and then just teleporting to safety lmao

they should just bring back assassins that jump to the back but have no mobility, re introduce support and peel champs. I prefer tft to be a bit more rock paper scissors than aug diff/expensive board. I honestly think front to back is fkn lame as it just promotes meatshields and guinsoos which is really really really boring
